Federal President’s Prize – Excellence in action!

The right setting for successful ideas

Spot on! Here, visitors will find the projects awarded the Federal President’s Prize over the last 10 years. A project island in the darkened exhibition space is dedicated to each innovation – consisting of modules designed with angular cubes whose shapes constantly change from an irregular pentagram to a solid rectangle.

In terms of content, the modules are structured in a similar way: the “gateway”, an interactive element, a model or an installation engages visitors by introducing the respective topic in a fun and creative way. An introductory text acknowledges the innovation and its significance for society, while prize-winners can also be seen talking about their work on film. Exhibits, drafts and graphics on the scientific content are on display, while animated graphics look at the economic potential of each innovation. The exhibition therefore succeeds in bringing together a large variety of topics into a single space and connecting them through the use of form and structure.

At the front is the Federal President’s Prize “Hall of Fame”, which honours the award-winners with large-format black-and-white photos. Along the side, you will find digital information on the prize and a look back at the innovations since 1997 that no longer have their own module at the exhibition. There is also a projected image of all the names of those who succeeded in being among the best as nominees.
